ECM will harm forest
industry says Mosher

There are 5,000 less men
working in the woods now
than in 1956, and this is due
to the policy of “economic
integration with the U.S.A.”,
Mark Mosher charged at a
public meeting held in the
Eric Graf Hall in Port Al-
berni recently.

Mosher, Communist Party
candidate for Comox-Alberni,
told the fifty people present
that in 1935 there were about
25 big logging outfits in and
around the riding, but, due to
the foolishness of integration,
this is no longer the case.

He warned that Canada
should take a strong position
in relation to the European
Common Market as this coun-
try now enjoys a 10% prefer-
ential tariff on lumber to
Great Britain and 15” on
plywood.

“Under the ECM this would
be wiped out,” he said.

He concluded by telling his
audience:

“If you don’t like the arms
race it would be a pretty good
move to vote Communist. A
good Communist vote would
even do the New Democratic
Party some good.”

Seeger wins
appeal case

A federal appeals court has
thrown out the contempt of
congress case against famed
folk singer Pete Seeger.

The decision represents a
significant victory for the
democratic forces of the U.S.
and a bitter defeat for® the
McCarthyite elements who
first started hounding Seeger
in 1955.

KOOTENAY C.P. CLUBS
WILL’ BACK HERRIDGE

At a meeting in Trail on
May 17th the West Kootenay
clubs of the Communist Party
of Canada voted not to run
a candidate in the June 18th
election, but to support the
NDP candidate, H. W. Her-
ridge, for re-election.

While sharply aware of the
fundamental differences be-
tween the up-and-down soc-
ialist character of the NDP
and the consistent working
class policies of the CP of
Canada, it was agreed that
H. W. Herridge had spoken
up in Parliament for the gen-

eral interests of workers,
farmers, professional people,
and small business men,
whose interests and demands
are fought for by the Com-
munist Party of Canada.

The Communist Party will
issue publicity on matters
confronting the West Kooten-
ay residents in particular, and
Canada generally, in an all-
out effort to expose the cold-
war, pro-U.S. parties; to stop
the Columbia sell-out and to
raise sharply the interests of
Canada on peace, trade and
full employment.

HAVE YOU LOOKED AT YOUR 1962 TAX NOTICE YET?

City Hall has raised your taxes again! Since 1937, when the NPA first
took over City Hall, taxes on the average home have increased from
$59.50 to $265.00. Your TAX BILL NOW is equal to RENT in 1936:
This year they took a million off big business and! soaked you, the small
homeowner, 12.7 per cent more.
{In 1963 and 1964 even bigger. tax increases are forecast. WE SAY STOP!
Put the tax load on those who can afford to pay. Tax big business and
relieve the homeowner. We ask you to support our campaign for a $2000
basic tax exemption on homes. There is a proposal now before the Van-
couver City Council calling for such an exemption.
If passed it would cut your taxes by $45.70 (average) a year, Sign the
form below and get your friends and neighbors to do the same. Send it
to the City Clerk, City Hall, Vancouver.
